A Buddhist journey reminscent of Dante's Inferno exploring the
illusions of human life, published here in the first new
translation in forty years Often considered the greatest work of
classic Korean fiction, The Nine Cloud Dream poses the question:
will the life we dream of truly make us happy? A historical novel
set in 9th-century Tang China, its wondrous story begins when a
young monk living on a sacred Lotus Peak succumbs to the temptation
of eight fairy maidens. As punishment for disobeying his master and
doubting his Buddhist teachings, the monk is reincarnated as the
most ideal of men. On his journey he encounters the eight fairies
in human form, each one furthering his journey towards
understanding the fleeting value of his good fortune. As his
successes build, he comes closer and closer to finally
comprehending a fundamental truth of the Buddha's wisdom: that
reality and dreams are ultimately indistinguishable.
